Zob closed the locker and nodded, "Well you let me know SM" he then noticed two sec bringing in another EDT angel woman, "Looks like we got another to process... shall i interrogate this one?" he asked.

------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>> From the Pulse

 Lizzy would say to Izzy as they walked hand and hand to SEC," Thank you for coming and if I am okay after this we can go dancing but I might need to help pick up the pieces, I will explain everything after okay Izzy. This could get very rough, and you will possibly see another side of me. Just stay where they tell you too okay, but hank you for being here with me." She will give Izzy a kiss a squeeze of ehr hand and walk into SEC.

 When Lizzy walked into the outer area she would see who was here as Izzy walked in with her. As she looks at Beth, her emotions started going crazy again and she said to Beth," I got a ping from you is the bastard here and still alive, I would like to talk to him, I have talked to Izzy she will stay out here until it is okay for her to come in or until I am done, is that okay Beth. Also Beth has he heard the message yet?"

 Lizzy smiled at Izzy and waited for Beth to direct where Lizzy had to go.

   To say Beth ws  frosty, would  make 'frosty' seem warm and Bubbly...

   ..He is   in the   far   holding chamber... The Admiral has plans for him in a bit.... I am setting things up now  with  webtrails to hit the  news outlets  and  Vid feeds.... He has no idea  whats  going on..  Si  had her nose  taped   and  stood  next to Shadow  whispering something to him as she  sipped his Coffee... Shadow gave  a' I don't  care' shrug as he stared  at the far    window.

 ..you're gonna have to wait your   Turn? Oh?  and Larry bit of your dad's   right hand..

 Larry looked over   and  thumped his tail a bit.

 Larry    stood   By  Roy. he looked at the two ladies  then swung his   head  around  as  Si turned  to  refills her coffee, and the   'form' on her nose  was easy to see  as where the darkening circles under her eyes.

 Maria    was next to  Lyri as   Lyri was   taking her  SMG  apart...I do not  care?.. they should   have to die  slow.. for  Shoey, Will and Jax....

 ..maybe they will, who knows... right  now? they are weapons  the Admiral will be firing  at the enemy...

  The  Verian  from the  passage way was  sat down  in the  chair.. well with in view  of  MAris...

  ..I was never good  at asking questions?.. I tended to get angry and the  session  never lasted  as long as it  should.... A good leader , recognizes his short Comings... now? most of   my people can ask questions... and  Lilit, is on her  way back from   her ship... poor  Lady  just left a bit a go, had to turn around  and come back..i bet she'll be thrilled?

 The  Verian  with  his head gear off  had  black eyes.. now  and then he   stared  and smirked at Shade.. who, still hasn't   wiped the  black ooze off his hands.

 anyway? not everyone can have   fun... so?.. Here is my SM, Roy.. he might let you live...The LC.. he'll make it so you wish you were dead...and? he enjoys  it.

 as  an effect, Shadow    slips a throwing  dagger  from  the  Collar of his tunic. the  leaf  shaped  blade  was  walking  across  his fingers  for  effect.

 never  did this  with a verian...  i figure  it will either not  hurt you at all... or  hurt wayyyyy more..I guess we'll find out shortly..

 .. now?  the SM  here. will ask   a couple questions.. if you answer  them, and we are satisfied?  you ...just  might..get to go home...if not, you'll  join your friends who are floating around the Black  right now.....................

Roy raised an eyebrow in surprise...he'd already gotten the answer to the question he thought was relevant, so he needed a moment to think of additional information to fish for.  To cover his thinking break, he made himself busy with some of the paperwork on the table next to him...luckily, they were shift assignments that he needed to approve.  "Be with you in a moment," he said dismissively to the Verian.  A little extra time to sweat, with Shadow and Shade looking ready to turn him into a Verian floormat, would make it easier to get answers, Roy suspected...

He went through the list--it was something he had done so many times that he didn't really need to focus on it, so it was a great cover for trying to puzzle some new questions.  Almost absent-mindedly, he scribbled a couple of notes, crossed out entries for Shoemaker, Will, and Jax, and wrote in others to take the shift for them, then signed off on the whole thing and put it in a pile to be processed, before turning to the Verian.

"Now...where were we again?  Oh, yes...you were about to decide whether you'd rather answer my questions or be Shadow's latest carving project.  So, what's it going to be?"  He gave a quiet, self-deprecating chuckle, and held up a hand before the Verian had any time to respond.

"Of course, you need questions to answer first.  I almost forgot that...a little preoccupied with how to keep my security shifts filled and in good order when three of my most reliable people are in medical..."  His eyes hardened as he mentioned the wounded personnel, his whole visage showing that mercy was not forthcoming anytime soon, from him.

"So...let's talk about the forces harrassing Uden and the Calmites.  Who's there, who's commanding operations...does Adem have the balls to lead the assault himself, or is he hiding from his ex on Vera?  That should be a good start..."

  The verian  watched  Roy.. his eyes shifted to  The Captain as she walked a  few feet to watch MAris  who seemed overly interested  in what was going on.. she  glared at  him before  walking back  to sit on the edge of Maria's desk.

 He was surprised by Roy's question.Adem? He is the father  of us all..he has professes  many times about  meeting    the  Fleet in Battle...  Evert  will not hear of it...fearing for the loss of   our Leader... The thing is simple..even for  Humans? Calimite  is the  first planet  founded, by Adem's own seed..Kain. The Son? he was not  Fully Verian..some say.. a misbegotten 'Broken One"..like this one here... he nodded to Shade.. Shade  took a step Shadow grabbed him and was almost  pulled over, before   stopping him..

 ..keep being a dumbass and  me you and  Shade will take a  walk to a very speical place, where no one  can hear you scream...

 Shade  looked up and Bleeped...

 yeah..good point,..we never  tested that out..I'm pretty sure they couldn't hear you..might be fun to find out?

 The Verian looked a little  nervous  as his head   truned to  Roy,.. Vera  needs the resources  on Calimite ... and the people who very from  humanoid, to those who are much like the Udenese..thus far, the Calimites   tried to remain Neutral .. thier ships  were only for defesne... but  the Might of Vera  has captured   almost all of them..Adem has  said..he  would love to face  Shadow  for all the insults  he has  CAst upon him...

 he turned away   from Roy to  add the last part, then back to him,..he said he lost respect  for  Humans, when he saw what the results of   Lady and Shadow  let... The daughter, could not be  fixed... this one..would have been scrapped, had  they allowed  him to come to  Vera... the very idea they are living and breathing..is an Insult to Our....  the verian screamed..verians screaming   in pain. is not a   pleasant sound... it is much like fingernails, on a chalk board, with a metallic  backround..

 Shade  stood there  with The verian  Blade  he took from the Verian he had  killed in the passage..along   slice  from the top of the Verians  side  to the  knee was   oozing Balck  fluid, wire-like Muscles   shown.

 ... Dusk... told me..in detail what they did to her.. I am very impressed that she is still alive... she wouldn't have been, had she  not been part of me, and part of Lady.....Evert?.. MAde the  of mistake of  telling me  Shade would  be 'remade' if he couldn't  be   fixed.. Stefi?  I would like to use  one of the ORs.. to show this  gentleman  what they did to my Daughters?

 Sorry   Nut Job.... I don't care what you do to anyone...any ..THING...but you can't  use  my OR

 Fair enough?....when the time comes..  we'll  take him to the Black Hanger..... if he survives,   we can allow him to go home....This is for his  own..edification, of course...Just so he knows, how the other half lives..

 beth Spoke Up....Admiral?.... GE-FI  ha s taken the Bait.. he opened the  feeds...  at the most?..he might be able to shut  down   about a 3rd of them.. if he acts fast..maybe..1/5th  if he's too slow... the word  will get out there though..

 Alright..  , SGT Major? have  three of your  people escort this fellow  to the Black Hanger..Shade and Shadow  can converse when  we are Done here.. Restrain him and do not treat that wound..just incase he  thinks its  a good  idea  to run..he won't  run fast..or far

 ..Maria.. Master chief.. bring out MAris....Beth?.. set up  you cameras  how you want.... I want the feed of Maris's  reaction, and GE-Fi's  reaction to get out  before   GE-Fi can  stop the feeds at all..after that. I can only hope those  that are left open, will spread the news..

 As Maris  was brought   down, and  the verain , all but dragged away, Hack truned to Lizzy?.... when the  feed is   cut..., you can have your say.. Then the SM and  Shadow   will have to take over..

 Maris   was weaken a bit , by the loss of   Blood. His eyes  got wide  as Larry Burbled  and showed his teeth... they strapped him down in the  chair , MAris  saw the long black line  of  'pureblood' Verian blood.

 Hack!.. you're  crazy.. if you hurt the verians..

 ..huirt the Verians?...almost all of them are dead... there is a string  of  15 sloop crew  srtung out behind  us of at elast 10,000 miles  by now?..we have went beyound...'hurting'.... which...Brings us to you? We're gonna have a  bit of a chat  with GE-FI..shouldn't last long?  I count on him to cut his feed?... our feed...however will go on for a bit....The Whole of the Black, is about to get a peek behind the curtain..after wards.. Roy is going to ask  you some, very easy questions... Shadow will help jog your memory..

 Beth Grinned at Lizzy.....this is gonna be good..

Roy picked out three guards that were waiting to go on duty.  "You heard the man.  If this failed abortion tries to run, shoot his legs...but under only the uttermost dire circumstances should he be killed.  That's the LC's job."

He looked at the Verian.  "Adem lied to you.  He never respected humans.  He's been too busy eyeballing the interior of his own rectum to have even marginal awareness of the reality of life off his little mudball... and that's gonna come around and bite him in the ass.  If he's smart, he'll get his head out of there first...might get it bitten right off, if he's not careful."

He gestured for the guards to take the Verian away, and turned his attention to the video feed, curious to see how Ge-Fi reacted to the story that Hack was about to unfold to the galaxy at large.

 Lizzy looked at Beth and said," Thank you Beth, I figured I would have to wait my turn, oh I can't wait to see the look on his face, but I know he will pay for what he did to my Mom and almost me, I still can't believe my own Father did that to me." Lizzy had been holding in the tears, being with Izzy had helped so much, but know knowing that everyone will know what her Father did, and what her Mother did she is loosing control of her emotions, as her tears flow again.

 When Beth told her Larry bit his hand, she knew Larry had bitten it off, Lizzy walked over to Larry and said as she petted his head," Is that so larry, I hope you spit it out don't want you getting sick, and I bet he deserved it." Lizzy still crying looked at Larry hugged him and said," Thank you for what you did on Bura you saved my life." Lizzy gave him a kiss and then waited for the show to start.

 She didn't care about the Verian that was their jobs she just wanted to see her Father. Lizzy stood there as they took the Verian away and was bringing her Father down, Lizzy responded to Admiral Hack," Yes Sir I wont need long and then he is all yours." Lizzy looks at Shadow and says," Sir please make him pay for my Mother and everyone on the Neutron, make it hurt."

 Once her Father was brought down Lizzy stood there watching him, she didn't say a word until Hack told her it was okay, but she made sure he could see her, she held Izzy's hand as her tears where flowing, not for the asshole in front of her but for the people he hurt.

 Lizzy smiled at Beth and said," I can't wait to see his reaction." Lizzy was showing her dark side and she hoped it didn't scare Izzy off she really liked her and will need her after all of this, her and Harry will have to pick up the pieces.

 Lizzy squeezes Izzy's hand and whispers to her," You will know what that asshole did soon, I will need you so much after this Izzy, thank you for being here with me."

Zob was in place to fill in for Jax tonight so he went with the other 2 sec down to the black hanger with the Verian prisoner.

------> To black hanger

——> The Pulse

As she stepped into SEC Izzy couldn’t help but feel a little overdressed for the occasion and although she’d promised Lizzy that she wouldn’t be a reporter she couldn’t help but give the Admiral a horrified look when he revealed that they were about to release footage of an interrogation to the media ”you’re doing what!? And you didn’t call me! Oh my god my boss is going to kill me” she exclaimed in a horror stricken voice knowing just how badly her bosses in the EUP would react to her not getting them the exclusive rights to this particular story.

Looking like someone about to face their own execution she would try and offer Lizzy some level of support, not that she really knew what was going on with her trusting that Lizzy would tell her the entire story once it was all over and in the hands of every media corporation and blogger in the galaxy. She felt like screaming and had she not promised Lizzy that she wouldn’t would probably be shouting at the Admiral about not keeping her in the loop despite the fact that she was attached to his ship. Instead she would quietly stand there in her pretty pink dress and holding Lizzy’s hand as she watched the entire scene unfolding before her like an oncoming train.

 Beth  smirked at Izzy,somethings, are more important , then a Byline  for  a hungry Media jock...

 GE-FI's face came on the  screen,   Beth's hand  few across her     Keyboard. machine on the  empty desks  came to life  as they  showed  the same screen and  be  can to run the feeds...

 What do you what Hack?... The ESN  is treated  as  a 'ally  on probation' he  gave a bit of  a Sneer... but Ge-Fi wasn't a total idiot.. He saw   Si's  face, with the form on her nose  and the  darken  eyes....who did that to you?

   Hack stepped aside  so MAris was now on the screens... Beth   spitting teh screens  so  both MAris  and  Ge-Fi were in the  feeds... to GE-Fi's  screen he only saw  what he could see.

 ..Maris?

  Hack smiled and  waved it off,don't worry.. our Larg took his hand...what happens to him after  you and I have this chat, does not really concern you.

 Maris?....Maris?....

 Si  spoke up,The Commander of the ESN  Neutron...

 The woman who Lost her ship and her  crew? And allowed the Raiders to slip in and  hunt in the Sol System?

  Hack  shook his hea d  with  closes  eyes and a bit of a frown... then he looked up at the screen,..Maybe  the few Angels who serve on the Hermes  are  of  better breeding? But i cannot   thing, you are that addled, despite your Age...

 ..I did not   come here  to be insulted!

 where   do you usually go?...

 Si Elbows  Shadow rather and he rubs  his   tummy with a wounded look.

 What do you know  about Free shippers?

 ..They are Mercs.. they come in handy for Odd Jobs, since  the Delta Fleet has  taken   most of the  ships, and destroyed  one of the Sol System Navy's   fleets.. we have to   fill in  with what we can..

 even thought the  Freeshippers  are now allied   with Vera. who  have Joined the  Empire?

  Ge_fi went to say something...

 we just  fought off boarders... captured  a sloop and executed  15  prisoners...the rest of the crew  died  in our...retaliatory action, agains the sloop...Verians..Angels  and  Humans...Freeshipper   Uniforms with a sprinkle of EDT... EDT, GE-Fi. Isn't that your  very own storm troopers..

 what has this to  do with MAris,  and why bother me with  such things...

 Hack waves  Lizzy  forward but stops her next to  Captain Si,  Shadow steps   closer  to  Roy  , to let Izzy come up, or at least 'see' better.

 We recived this...not  long ago... if you have   a COM tech worth the hair on your ass? They'll I D  it as... he looks  to beth.

 Beth calls  from her desk off Camera,Dated  and rated  ESN...  Time stamp is spot on, no cover recordings, or  otherwise rendered …A decent COM tech  will note the SIGs

 ..Listen......

 The   message played.. MAris's  mouth Opened  as soon as he hear the Voice...panic was setting in.. he struggled in the chair, but Maria  strapped him down pretty tight.

 GE-FI's eyes grew  wider.. his eyes shifted to MAris.. Maris   looked like he was going to have a  heart attack.

 Stefi  lowered her head.. Shadow  put an arm on her shoudler, she went to shake it off. but instead,  leaned into him , her shoulders  shaking.

  when it was over... Maris    was   lookign wildly about.. Ge-FI was in shock.

  The Cameras   were  feeding them both to the Black

 No?  Maris?..GE-FI.. I am going to ask this question..if will be alot  better  for MAris, if you answered us  now.... Otherwise,  we might have to ...presude him...My people are very good at that..

 Maris looked straight  at Shadow  and Roy..but the most scary look  came  from  Stefi.

 GE-Fi's  eyes shifted to   HAck.Captain Mara..was a damn good  man.. 2 years  head  of me at San Diego.. He could have had  his own ship, but he loved his fighters too much...Now?  Commander  O'conner, sent him with her  daughter and a disc....The daughter   was handed over on Moon base.... Mara  was killed..there isn't  one   dumbass in the whole of the BLack, except maybe those  who  follow Ambassador Frans, who believe … that Mara was Killed by a thief... I tried to   check on that, when Nil and I  were taken into the  ….organization.. but we were blocked at every turn....So.. I am  saying this  for all the  Black to hear...if anyone knows where that Disc is.. get it to the Delta Fleet..or?  the ESN people on Earth.. where's the Disc..what was on it..and why kill a damn good Captain?

 Ge-fi sat there..he loked  at Nil.. she turned her ehad away from him.No answer? That's find,we don't mind digging for answers... it sjust, those  we have to dig into..seldom survive...

 GE-FI!!!! TELL THEM..PLEASE!!!..PLEASE    SEND SOME ONE FOR ME ..PLEASE!!!!!

 the shout from  MAris, and the knowing  Smile from Hack.. snapped Ge-Fi out of his  shock..This?  Doesn't  prove anything!

 To me it  does?.. Two dying women's last words... the Death of the Neutron?.. it is listed  as   'Commander's  Incompetence " ?   When the reality was..one 1st  Gen, Earth destroyer, cripped   two   Demon Cap ships  and destroyed  another, as...itself was  being destroyed...for  25 years..a bit more?... Those    people have had thier  names  besmirched... CAptain MAra   written off   as...nothing? But what we find here? is  Ge-FI working  with  key people in the ESN.. to help set up  a 'standoff' like you had in  the Paradise system...That same standoff, that the  Delta fleet..half the size it is now... broke  and free  your people from?..Tell Ge-FI?... Did then Demon's help you  attain, and retain your  rank, because you fed them  tribute?... right now? you are doing the same thing... feeding tribute through traitors  , and those too gutless to fight  the Empire... But for all those  who are hearing this?... Tribute mean kids..... Civies.. send   to be food, test subjects   and Breeding stock...while GE-FI  and his   Angels sit back and  enjoy a safe life....The Blue Angels  are spilling their  Blood.. we have Gava   who have joined up for  no other reason, that they know right from wrong...and they spill thier Blood..  Its time, the Sol System, and PAradise..rise up.. and begin hitting  back at   the Empire  and the EDT, and any  like them

 It was  then, We GE-FI's eyes  opened, and he   shut off his feed....

 Beth  calmly said..Still have  86%   spider feeds.. best say what you're gonna Say, Sir.

  Hack looked at the screens,To all thsoe out there... I will say this.. The Neutron will be  exonerated  in  the ESN Files... Captain Mara  will be  credited  with his Mission complete, and died  in the line of  duty.. but all  that doesn't matter. if   you allow  GE-FI,  , the EDT and the Empire  to continue thier terror... if ever, there was a time to fight back... now is the time... a farmer in the field?  A trooper  on a ship... Its  time....The Vid   that you have just seen, will be repeated..and  I hope all who have access to it.. keep it  feeding  so every corner of the Balck, hears this..

....................

 beth Cut the Feeds...Alright, Ensign O'Conner. we'll give you some time with him..

 Lizzy held Izzy's hand tight as she listened to the messages again and her Mother's voice, the tears where flowing her emotions all over the place. She watched her Father's face as he listened to her Mother's last transmission.

 Lizzy loved it when he squirmed and new he was a dead man, Lizzy just watched him her emotions now going to hatred and anger at her Father. He took her Mother from Lizzy, Lizzy's eyes where like green daggers aimed for her Father.

 Lizzy just watched and listened as she held Izzy's hand. Lizzy was happy to hear that everyone on the Neutron would be seen as heroes and her Mother cleared of any wrong doing.

 Then Hack said she could have some time with him Lizzy said," Thank you Sir." Lizzy squeezed Izzy's hand, gave her a kiss on the cheek and whispered," I will be right back."

 Lizzy walked right up to her Father and slapped him across his face hard. " That was from me, for being the worst possible human being I have ever seen before in my life, you sent your wife and your unborn daughter to die, for a fucking promotion." Lizzy slaps the other side of his face. " Then you make everyone who died on the ship look bad and have a taint to their records, if you know where the disc is tell me now and i will ask the LC to end your life semi-quickly if not well you know his reputation."

 Lizzy will wait for an answer, in either case she will continue, by pushing her high heel into Maris's crotch and push down hard, " That is for Mom, you stole her away from me and lied to me all these years." The tears where flowing Lizzy was loosing it big time, she snapped it was too much, she tried to stay in control but knowing her father would do that to her and her Mother and seeing him it was too much. Lizzy removed her foot and just starting slapping him over and over saying," You son of a bitch, I am so happy I don't have your disgusting name anymore, and I just can't see how anyone would do that to their own flesh an blood, you are dead to me." She stops slapping him, gives him one good kick in the nuts and turns to Izzy and hugs her close and cries on her shoulder.

 She says," I am done with that useless piece of flesh have fun LC, SM." She then says still crying , and hugging Izzy, she looks at the Admiral as says," Sir request permission to be dismissed I am done Sir, thank you Sir." It was hard to understand her with her still crying but she tried her best. Once the Admiral dismissed her, she would say, " Izzy can you please get me out of here."

------> From Hanger Dec

Kira and Morgan walked into SEC she noted that a lot of people were busy with stuff going on but she wanted this information processed, "I have Cal Clarks will that needs to be decoded, i was told by the med techs to bring it here so we can honor his final wishes" she was bothered by it but she needed to keep it cool.

  Beth    takes  a key card and Opens   a file cabinet behind her.  she takes out, what looked  like  a cross between a  Vidboard and a  M<edc Tech scanner.

 Her Voice is low  as   Hack takes to Ge-Fi...

 take this  down the hall, first door past the SM's offcie.. ther eis a   smaller questionign room.. key up the pad   with your   scanner , put the Disc it  it will shoiw  any vids, and you'll hear the aduio..it will also send a orint  to our logs, incase legal is needed..

Kira takes the device and heads down towards the empty questioning room and pulls up a chair for Morgan and her before synching up with the device and putting the disc in to see what it was he left behind.

”I’m not military you stupid...I could lose my career over this!” Izzy snapped in response to the smug look on Beth’s face with her only just stopping short of insulting her and making things even worse. Instead she would hold Lizzy’s hand and follow her over to where the others were and watch what was probably the biggest story to break since the start of the war, and here she was; no notes, no equipment, no access rights Hell she didn’t even have a stuffing notebook!

After everything had come to it’s natural conclusion and Lizzy had finished speaking with her father she would lead a sobbing Lizzy away, with her waiting until they were in the corridor outside before quietly asking ”Did you know? Did you know they were going to broadcast this?”

 Lizzy let Izzy lead her into the hallway, she was trying to get control of herself, but she stayed close to Izzy holding her. " No I had the impression they where going to confront them both and then they said I could have you release it to the public at the right time, I didn't know they where doing this or I would have said you could come as a reporter, I am sorry Izzy." Lizzy didn't need this, she knew Izzy wanted to do her job and be a reporter, and she wondered why the Admiral didn't give her a heads up on everything, Lizzy's head was all over the place.

 Lizzy took a deep breath and said," I am so sorry I ruined everything and now you hate me, my Father tried to kill me, he killed my Mother and everyone on the Neutron and smiled and raised me like nothing ever happened. Now I have hurt you, I am so sorry, so sorry." Lizzy snapped again her whole life was falling apart, Lizzy ran out of SEC crying hysterically as she headed for the Hanger Dec.


---------------->>>>>>>>>>>> To Hanger Dec

 Izzy's  first  words  came Out... Beth's  left eyebrow  raised  and a dark smile  came over her  face  as she titled her  head...but  Izzy stooped short of  impending doom.

 ENSIGN....Sakura? You would do well, to understand, that the Delta  Fleet  exists  for only one reason... to end  all of our  enemies..and , in the process...end the war. The Media, is a tool...a weapon, nothing more.. we use it  when and how we see fit. If you survive long enough, you'll appreciate the lack of reins  we have on the Media..as well as when we pull those reins in..

 Hennings    who was  with BAle  to make  sure they had  all the 'legal' it's  dotted and it's Crossed. Stepped over  to   Beth and Izzy and said  softly, but firmly....  there is a reason, you couoldn't have   been allowed  the knowledge for this, before hand....we couldn't take the chance, nor  would  we have... The story is out there..  GE-FI is scamblign tryign to  put a spin on it, while  networks and micro stations are  sendign the  Vid   further  and further...Now?... Your  part is what do you do with it now...

.....................

 After     Lizzy  finished... HAck had a bit of  a frown at her break down,..when you have a chance  to  Pull yourself together... come find me.. You're  dismissed.

 Maris  was   crying...pain in his 'hand'.. his  daughter  slapped him..and Ge-Fi abandoned Him.. Si gave   HAck a Kiss, ..I am goig to Med Tech so I do not   end up  with a Noise  like  Mull.... she looked at  Maris  and Giggled   musically  as she walked to the door, Followed  by a very Angry  Stefi...

........................

   Shadow stepped Up with Roy..Shade  sat on  the  chair lookign at the   drying black goo on hishands.

 soooo?  WOM..bat..  feel like talking? I sure hope not....But  fair is fair..right?.. Now  Roy here.. he's a better man then I am..he sorta frowns  on this  'creative questioning'..but.. as so often in the past..some folks just don't understand ..just how easy it is  to get through this?... You answer his questions  I don't get to cut you... and I am very very sad..... you don't answer?... Then I do get to cut you..and you are very, very sad..

 Hack Leans on Lyri's  desk, Alright..rules of the game are in place...  I am here to referee... JAck? as a Guy i once thought of as a friend... don't mess this up...you won't like it

   Morgan  sat there , dabbing his  knuckles  with  a rag from the shop..the Vid Played... It was  Clark , just a bit  after  the  the   battle on Bura.

  hope you're not   seeign this, 'cause it means  I'm dead.. and that would realy suck..you Know?.. and?.. I ahve a bit  of   drink in me now.. some Little Burian   Girl was real nice to me... I might hunt her up next time I come back...Nika is her name.. pure bred like  green woman with  green  eyes..dark hair..of course. that's almost all of them, huh?

 he  sips from a  wooden  jug, and smacks his lips...I talked to a Navy guy.. gunners mate on the  Artemis , seems one of his   buddied   got  killed and he didn't have  no  will or nothing, and No family..so the Mulls? they get to  keep all your creds if there isn't  nothing   that says  it goes some where?

 well?  when i get back to the ship.. I'm goign to Med tech to set this up......now?  its not much?..but at elast the Mulls won;t get it... but.. My creds   , once you turn this   in to SEC... will  get  split betwee   Morgan and Kia?  or..yu know..just one of them if  only one is left?..My stuff in my quarters?... Go through  what yhou  want?  then   end the rest of the stuff to the  QM.. maybe  the civie s can use some of the stuff.... They'll figure it out...

 He Took a  swig and Put the   Jug down...we seen alot  of  hard heads  go through  the Mechs.. most just washe dout..others just folded  up their Tent...But? I figure  with Kira  BAck, we might only need the three of us?... Look.. Nika  is comign back soon... and I don't wanna get all mushy and stuff.. but you guys are the Only familiy  I had? and belongiong to the Hermes? I mean..if you're gonna serve  , where els would you serve..right?... Wish  i could chake you hand Morgan... and Give Kira  a Hug... but with any Luck..no one ever sees this   Vid.... and if you are watching...make sure  you turn it in..i don't want my creds going to the damn Mulls!

 the Vid Stopped  an ESN  insignia   pooped up saying "..Vis  logged and filed"

Kira put her head down on the table and began to cry once again after what seemed like forever she managed to compose herself, "I suppose we should deal with the legal matters at hand Morgan..." she then stood up and took out the disc and brought it back out to Beth along with the scanners, "His funds as well as all his belongings are to be split between both me and Morgan here, i humbly request access to his quarters"

  Beth smiled a bit sadly,..of  course.. Hang On... out of the 5 machines that were  carrying a loopign Broadcast of the whole  'GE-FI-MAris ' thing... two were Black.

 Admiral?  They  shut  down two feeds, it will be up to the people on those ends  to keep it going..

 she  shut  down one of the balck screens  and   cleaned out the machine, then Plugged in the  File of   Clark's  will.

 as   her COM lit Up  she said,Chief Morgan  and Keif Ambaermoon wil be arriving at  Clarks  quarters... when they are  done.. call the QB to send  up  cleaners, and  remove  Clarks  Name plate  so we  don't freak out the Next transfer....

 Already  done LT...

 OK , Chiefs.  Jeens  and   Hill will be  waiting  by his door... you guys take your time... when you are don't , yuou let them know so the QM can send  people up   to clean it out  and  see what they can use  or pass on... it sounds cold? But he'll be helping out   some Shipmates, with whatever you guys leave behind.

Kira nodded and pulled Morgan along up to Clark's former quarters with her it was best to get this done now rather then later.

-----> To Non Com Quarters

"Bullshit! You screwed me over...there's nothing I can do with that footage the whole world has it now all I can do now is call my boss and hope he doesn't replace me" Izzy retorted angrily to the pair of officers as they all but said they didn't trust her "...oh and by the way I've seen better camera work done by teenage bloggers in their bedrooms, perhaps next time you should ask a professional to do it" ok, that last part was rather petty but it had felt good to get the last word in before leaving with Lizzy.

Her night would continue to rapidly spiral out of control as Lizzy ran away sobbing in response to her question "No Lizzy wait! Come back I..." she futilely called after her before uttering a string of Chinese swear words that her mother would not have approved of when it became clear that Lizzy wasn't coming back. It was at this point that her comms unit would start to buzz in her handbag causing her to visibly wince.

Filled with a sinking dread she would reluctantly answer the call from her boss as she turned to head back to her quarters, suspecting that she wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight.

---> Officers Quarters

  Beth LAughed, it wasn't a nice laugh. another outburst like that.. and you can film stem  rats inbetween the  hull pates of the ship..ENSIGN.... You're dismissed...

 Hennings   winced . he knew that look in Beth's eyes...Beth?

  The  LT   shook her head,..Sorry Admiral.. this  isn't  a pleasure ship where she can  take  vids of what style bikinis   people are wearing...  she looked at the door  and snorted,I'm sure her  work has seen alot of Teenagers Bedrooms..

-------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>> From Hanger Dec

 Lizzy walks into SEC she seems to have full control of herself and seems to be almost her bubbly self. She walks over towards the Admiral and when he seems to be done with whatever he was doing Lizzy said," Admiral sir sorry for that I have pulled myself together, and I have come to see you as ordered Sir."

 Lizzy had wiped her eyes as good as she could, she was okay still the events had rocked her world but she recovered and was ready to continue basically her new life on the Hermes. Now shew as afraid what the Admiral was going to do to her when she told him what she had done.

 Lizzy would stand there waiting till the Admiral was ready to talk to her.
